I didn't get to watch the game live because I was out of the country, but I just watched it, expecting Sprads to get destroyed based on what I had read here. I'm not sure what game all of you guys were watching, and although he didn't play great, Sprads was certainly not the reason we lost the game. Christopherson had 17 of his 29 points while being guarded by someone OTHER than Sprads. Sprads gave up 12 points...big rough ridin' deal. I only saw 2 times (4 points) where I thought Sprads played less than good defense, and even then he was trying like hell. the points Christopherson scored that really hurt were the ones late, especially that last 3, where Angel was guarding him (or should I say NOT guarding him)...let himself get taken completely out of the play by a screen. Sprads was adequate. Although Angel had a nice game, he again hurt us with some late game mistakes...a turnover, 3 missed ft's, and that piss poor defense on Christopherson when we were tied. No one is to blame, we got out hustled, they made some clutch shots. We didn't deserve to win.
